Expect the late August 'Raven 2' Mecha Ranking charts to be utter chaos. With the August 19 update came the Class Change Season event, and the Battle World has officially opened its doors. Battle World is an event where users from all regions migrate to a special world to compete, with the transfer deadline set for August 23. Following its conclusion on September 2, full regional server transfers will commence. The Class Change Season event runs until the early hours of August 26, which will undoubtedly ripple through next week's rankings.

The most significant shift in the Korean servers is the rise of the Deathbringer. Its total class share climbed by 1.6 percentage points, and it has bolstered its presence in the popular class charts for individual servers. It successfully broke into the top three across seven new servers, now holding a top-three spot in 11 servers in total. Most of the classes pushed out during this surge happen to be Berserkers.

However, this shift does not necessarily spell doom for the Berserker. In fact, the total class share for the Berserker actually rose by 0.1 percentage points. It remains tied for first place in Mare-Fides and secured a solo second place in Solar-Fides, proving its enduring popularity.The Elementalist is also catching eyes. It managed to climb to third place in Lux-Dolor, Mare-Mors, and Solar-Mors. That said, its overall class share dropped by 0.6 percentage points, suggesting it might be on a downward trend.

Total Class Share

Moving on to the total class share in the Raven 2 Korean region: unlike the Elementalist, which managed to enter the top three in some servers, its total market share has actually contracted. While it rebounded in a few select servers, its overall standing has diminished. Conversely, the Divine Caster, which had been relatively quiet, snatched up a full 1 percentage point of the pie. It now stands as the top class, widening the gap with Night Ranger to 1.4 percentage points.

The lower-tier classes have taken a real beating. The Gunslinger lost 1.1 percentage points and slipped down the chart, with the Destroyer taking its place. While the Vanguard managed to hold onto eighth place, its losses are substantial, down 1.3 percentage points. It remains to be seen whether these shifts, combined with the Elementalist's performance, are a result of high-ranking players migrating to the Battle World.

Global Class Share

In the Global region, the Night Ranger, Vanguard, and Warlord all saw their shares decline. Generally speaking, melee classes are struggling to find their footing. The Assassin is holding steady, while the Vanguard and Warlord are seeing their presence shrink further at the very bottom. The only bright spot is the third-ranked Berserker, which gained 0.2 percentage points, though it is hardly enough to turn the tide. Lately, melee classes—excluding the Berserker—are looking weak in both the Korean and Global regions.

On the other hand, magic classes are showing great momentum. The Divine Caster rose by 0.4 percentage points, cementing its position as the most popular class. Mid-tier contenders like the Deathbringer and Elementalist gained 0.5 percentage points. It is also a positive sign that the gap widened as the classes below them, like the Gunslinger and Assassin, saw no change in share. With the gap between the third-ranked Berserker and fourth-ranked Deathbringer now at 1.9 percentage points, one wonders if the Deathbringer will eventually close the distance and claim third.

Guild Dungeon Ranking Records

The Guild Dungeon chart has been left in tatters as guilds from various worlds migrated to the Battle World. Top-tier Raven 2 guilds such as RoyalDanaekkeo, VeteranYarClub, RaonA, and Valentine are nowhere to be found, likely having departed for the Battle World.

Taking first place in this tally is the Nangman guild. They are followed by regulars from last week's chart, including TOP, StarBucks, I am, Villains, and MusinNaNaekkeo, who filled the spots from first place downwards. The catch is their scores; they are identical to those recorded in the previous Mecha Ranking. It appears these scores have hit a ceiling.

Raven 2 Mecha Ranking User Poll

Finally, let us look at the results of the Raven 2 user poll. Last week, we asked what players were most looking forward to in the Battle World. The option 'Anything new content is fine' received the majority of votes, proving just how hungry users are for things to do. The second choice was 'Making a profit on the Battle World Exchange,' while 'Hoping it is easier to enjoy than the previous Battle World' trailed closely in third.

This week's poll topic is stage-based missions. It is a system where you can tackle multiple tasks at once, but you must complete previous stages to claim the rewards. I suspect the difficulty of these tasks varies greatly from user to user. Which mission do you find the most difficult? Let us know your thoughts through the poll, and we will announce the results next time.
